Song for Flint for solo viola 歌 中提琴 中提琴独奏 朔特版

朱迪斯-巴特勒将 "不稳定 "定义为不稳定的不平等分配。这是一个岌岌可危的时代，在这个时代，获得安全洁净的水是一项濒临灭绝的人权，人类的过度行为对地球造成的破坏日益严重。但这也是一个系统性不平等的时代，企业、市政当局和民族国家可以通过战争、放松管制的污染以及不同程度地剥夺基本生活需求，对整个弱势人群造成或逐步或严重的伤害。贾斯比尔-普阿尔（Jasbir Puar）揭露了强权这种残酷的、基本不受制约的能力，她批判性地称之为 "致残权"。密执安州弗林特市的人们成为了一个历史性的例子，以环境种族主义的形式，他们是遭受这种暴力的活生生的人。在这个水之年，我将这幅作品和我的委托献给弗林特的孩子们

原文简介:
Judith Butler defines “precarity” as the unequal distribution of precariousness. These are precarious times, in which access to safe clean water is an endangered human right, increasingly under siege by the damage to the planet brought about by humankind’s excesses. But this is also an epoch of systemic inequality, in which corporations, municipalities, and nation-states can and do inflict incremental or drastic harm on entire vulnerable populations, through war, deregulated pollution, and the differential withholding of basic life needs. Jasbir Puar has called out this cruel, largely unchecked capacity of the powerful, which she critically labels “the right to maim.” The people of Flint, Michigan became a historic example of a living population subjected to this kind of violence, in the form of environmental racism. In this Year of Water, I offer this piece, and my commission, to the children of Flint.– Vijay IyerNew York CityOctober 2, 2019
